SYNOPSIS:

NOTE: The Toronto Comedy Screenplay Festival called White Dolphin Blues: "an entertaining comedy script with a lot of heart. The characters and the world presented are unique and exciting. This script could easily find an audience with other similar tongue-in-cheek style films. Like Barb and Starr go to Vista Del Mar and television series like Cheers or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." The TMFF festival said "the pilot episode is excitedly dynamic. It is fast-paced and engaging that it takes thirty minutes to pass by in a glimpse."

SYNOPSIS FOR WHITE DOLPHIN BLUES

Greedy developer Bailey Ginch needs one last boardwalk property—The White Dolphin Pub—to transform tiny Paradise Beach, Delaware, from a quaint hideaway into a high-rise resort destination that he plans to rename Ginch World. But Dolphin owner Cara Muldoon and the quirky characters who inhabit this two-square-mile burg don’t intend to “sell out and move on.” Imagine “Cheers” meets “Friends” meets “Barb & Star go to visit del mar.”

When Ginch learns that Cara is thousands of dollars behind on the bar’s bank loan—the same bank he owns—she challenges him to a beach volleyball match. If her team wins, the loan is completely forgiven. If Ginch’s wins, he forecloses and takes over the bar.

For Cara, the stakes are high. Not only could she lose the bar she has run for the last 20 years, but she’d also lose her livelihood. She’d lose her friends, too, the only family she has ever known. To make things worse, competition is coming. A new franchise bar is opening on the boardwalk—the one with hot wings served by hot girls in orange hot pants. Her liquor distributor just doubled wholesale prices. The IRS is auditing her tax returns. Her off again/on again boyfriend may propose and she’s not sure she’s ready for that. Plus, her sole mode of transportation—a battered Vespa—is being repossessed. And…she has developed a bad case of hemorrhoids.

She can turn it all around—if she wins the match. But Ginch—being Ginch—has stacked his team with volleyball pros from New Jersey. Cara’s team? Not so much. Her picks are two ancient White Dolphin barflies named Pappy and Shappy, local biker/Hulk Hogan-lookalike Dirt Johannsson, her clumsy boyfriend Bing Bronson and a real flirt in a tight skirt, Paradise Beach’s Mayor, Gina D’Alessandro. None of them has ever played beach volleyball. (Except Pappy, fifty years earlier. Something about garlic keeping him spry in his old age.)

Can Cara and her motley crew pull off a miracle? Well, the odds of her winning are about the same as spotting an all-white dolphin. Rare but not impossible. So, she’ll give it a try. After all, pearls don’t just lie on the seashore. You must dive in and grab. With every episode, you’ll see Cara and the lovable cast doing just that as they battle Ginch, and the challenges thrown at them to keep Paradise Beach that fun little ocean town they’ve grown to know and love.
